What I can clean with clay stone
Clay stone (or white stone) makes it possible to deep clean smooth surfaces (faucet, mirror, tiling, etc.), but also to make them shine without leaving any trace.
Nothing can resist its passage, she is able to degreaser all contaminated surfaces, deoxidize metals such as silver and aluminum or even strip gently burners and ceramic hobs.
How to use it ?
When you buy a clay stone in the store, it is very often presented in a round box similar to the packaging of body creams.
So to use it, you just need to ’moisten a sponge with a little cold water and rub gently against the clay stone.
Now all you have to do is clean your dirty surface and then to wipe with a soft dry cloth to make it shine bright again.
